excelsiorfarm: stress,how u handle them,my question is what percentage died?About 10%. But I believe that is now a thing of the past as no more has died. Seems it was the vital feeds that was the culprit. The feed is kind of oil-based and this prevented the fishes from getting enough oxygen as the oil settled on the surface of the water. I changed the water and washed the pond. Coppens has been doing them good, to Good be the glory. Thanks for your help sir. |

ayoola190: Pls at what interval should I change the water in my concrete pond to save the fish from stress and bruise without jeopardizing the clean environmental management of the pond? U can change the water every three days or at most four days.. When changing the water don't flush out everytin completely let there still be a little water in the pond then u start pumping fresh water into the pond, but the leave the outlet open for sometime.. When u notice that the water in the pond is now very fresh u can lock the outlet and continue your pumping.. By so doing u will reduce bruises and stress on the fish.. 1 Like |

practicalclass: Since I have been using coppens, I have not experienced such again.hmmm, what i know is no feed kills fishes,it is either d feed isn't palatable & d fishes hardly eat it,poor nutrient content & they won't grow well. more, is if d feed isn't properly dry & have been affected by aflatoxin/fungi |

@soft77- indeed it is cheaper,u can even feed them waterlily,cassava leaves & wheat bran(talking of experience),kitchen waste etc.but if i were to be in competition with such a farmer,by revealing his feed source,he automatically losses some customers(talking about faith,am a christian & i also do not eat pigs),but only failures go into unhealthy competition of pulling another down,which am not by D Grace of God.i can only advise such farmer to keep his feed source secret |
